8-9 Image Processing
Image Processing Pipeline
.
The TS3 image processing begins in the LUPA1300-2 sensor, where on-chip column FPN corrections
occur (if enabled) and the Black level is set using data collected during calibration. Pi x el data, also
collected during calibration is us e d for Pixel FPN correction (if e nabled). (See “8-5 Black Level
Calibration” on pa g e 65.) The TS3 does more image processing internally, some of which can be
controlled by the operator. To be tt er understand how this works, please refer to “Figure 8-10: Image
Pipeline”.
The 10-bit sensor output goes to the Bit Selector, then to internal high-speed memory. This selection is
made by the user when bit depth is selected. (See”8-3 Setting Bit D ep th” on page 64.)
The path for all images and the input to the histogram is: Sensor, to Bit Selector, to Image Processor, to
Display / Histogram. It is always 8-bit Mono or 24-bit Color. Live images pass through from high-speed
memory to the image processor immediately. Captured images are saved in high-speed memory until
the camera powers down or the images are wri tt en over.
• Images in the internal high-speed memory have not yet gone through the image processor. This
means that the image processing settings ha ve NO e ff ect on the images in high-speed
memory--they only a ff ect the images as they are saved or displayed.
• Images in high-speed memory may be viewed or saved multiple times with d iff erent settings
